Puppeteer
I was a member of the four-person group for 1 season with this company. We presented the shows in our repertoire to schools and special event from Maine to Texas, including The Snow Queen, Peter and the Wolf, Pictures at an Exhibition, Alice in Wonderland, and The Story of Jumping Mouse. We used a variety of puppets, including pageant puppets, bunraku, hand-and-rob puppets, and other traditional and innovative puppets.
